For boot camp on snow leopard  do i want 32 bit or 64 bit for windows seven?

can some help me out? and i dont have the restore disk for the drivers? will it still work? and 32 bit or 64 bit?

Then you have 32bit system. If there is 64bit, its explicitly written in name of OS. Or try msinfo32 from command line, it open information window about OS and there are all important info.

  • Install Leopard with boot camp on snow leopard.

    I upgraded to Snow Leopard and have a piece of line 6 hardware that is not compatible. Updated drivers are taking forever to come out and I need to use this hardware. I'm wondering if it would be possible to use boot camp to install leopard from the installation disk included with my macbook so that I can boot to it to use the line 6 device.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    The easiest way is to use Disk Utility in the Utilities folder to create a 2 partition set up. Disk Utility will be able to do this without erasing your existing information.
    - Select your volume the one with the disk size at the top
    - Click on Partition
    - Change the Volume Scheme to 2 partitions
    - Answer any messages and such
    I am sorry since I have mine partitioned with BootCamp for my Windows 7 partition, I am unable to describe all of the steps as BootCamp locks me out of performing the rest of the steps.

  • Boot Camp on Snow Leopard can't install Windows-Stuck on black BIOS screen

    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on an early 2008 Mac Pro (dual 3.2Ghz Harperton CPU's, 10gb RAM) with Boot Camp version 3.0.4 (all updated). I've successfully had a Boot Camp partition in the past, running WindowsXP32 Bit. I just purchased Windows7 Professional and can't install either the 32bit or 64 bit version. Neither can I install any of my original Windows disc. Boot Camp successfully creates the partion, then asks me to install the Windows install DVD/CD which I do, and then when it reboots, it gets stuck in a black BIOS screen that says "Initializing..."
    I've tried all my Windows discs: WindowsXP-32bit, Vista-32Bit, Vista-64Bit, Windows7-32Bit, Windows7-64Bit. Same problem...gets hung on the black BIOS screen. I disconnected all my USB hardware except for my keyboard/mouse. All my other internal drives are disconnected.
    The only thing that I can think of is that is different is my MacHD is a 500GB Seagate MomentusXT solid state hybrid drive.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!
    Thanks

    Hi fellow Mac buddie,
    I just zapped the PRAM, and also reset the SMC switch on the mother board.....no luck.
    In refenece to the hybrid SSD drive, I've already taken that one out, put in a fresh 3.5" drive, formatted and installed  a fresh clean version of Lion OS, and then attempted the Boot Camp install using Lion with the newest Boot Camp version (3.1 or 3.2) Please see my original post above.
    Same issue, black BIOS screen.
    Also tried Boot Camp Windows install on a second drive in drive bay 2 (an option now in Lion's Boot Camp)
    same issue, black BIOS screen.
    Lastly, I've tried all these interations using my three different Windows install disks (XP, Vista, Windows7).
    XP is a "full install" disk, Vista and Windows7 are upgrade disks. But I've had XP installed previously using Boot Camp with no problem. So I'm confused I can't even install XP.
    As another option, I went to a friend who has a PC, and I installed Windows 7 on a new hard drive. I'm about to install that in drive bay 2, reboot while holding down "option", and see if I can boot directly into that disk.
    That's a workaround, as is VMWare Fusion which I have and Windows7 works fine as a virtual machine.
    But when something doesn't work the way it's supposed to (in this case Boot Camp), it bugs me makes me want to know why it doesn't. I'll report back with regard to the 2nd bay Windows7 hard drive install.

  • Install windows 7 32-bit using boot-camp on snow-leopard

    I have Snow-Leopard running on my MacBook. I want to install Windows 7 32-bit Professional. I have already purchased copy of Windows from Amazon. I never'ed install Windows on my MacBook till date, so I don't know what to do, and how to install it.
    Please share your experiences of installing Windows using Boot-Camp. I need screen-shots or video that can help me with installation.

    Windows 7 requires Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard and the Boot Camp 3.1 Update. For complete system requirements information, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1899
    The 3.1 update is here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL996
    The 3.2 update is here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1333
    Here's a couple of sites that helped me when I used Boot Camp to install Windows XP.

  • Com port failed with boot camp and snow leopard - Please help!

    Hi. I have been a very happy leopard and macbook user for the last couple of years. This week I upgraded to a macbook pro with OS X 10.6 snow leopard. I set up boot camp with Windows XP SP3as I have a couple of windows only applications that I need to use and they both need serial port. I had a Keyspan USA 19-QW serial adaptor that worked fine with Leopard and my old macbook. I installed the driver that came with the Keyspan adaptor. Now when I plug the adaptor into the USB slot it finds new hardware and says it is ready to use and the adaptor is listed in my ports as being on COM3 in device manager in windows but when I try to run the programs I get the message 'the selected port could not be opened. Either the port is in use by another application, or the port doesn't exist'. I'd be very grateful for any advice you can give me to solve this problem. Do I need to buy a new adaptor? Is this a settings or driver issue? I'm a user and not a techie person so please can you leave me easy step by step help. Many thanks. Karen

    And was wodering if snow Leopard is pré installed
    Yes.
    And also which disc that came with thé machine has boot camp on it
    None. Windows is a separate purchase.
    i havé read that to install windows7 you need to pût thé snow leopard disc in to complete thé installation
    That refers to the Boot Camp drivers for Windows, not Windows itself.

  • Can't Install Boot Camp from Snow Leopard DVD in Windows 7

    I have an iMac "Core 2 Duo" 3.06 24-inc (08) running 10.6.2 and Windows 7.
    I was able to successfully use the Boot Camp Assistant to partition and install Windows 7 on my iMac. After the installation, I was able to download updates from Windows Updates which included video drivers.
    However, when I inserted my Snow Leopard DVD to install Boot Camp 3.0, the Setup.exe only gave me two options: To Install Mac OS X remotely and to install CD/DVD Sharing. I was not presented any options to install Boot Camp.
    I did manually navigate the Snow Leopard DVD and found a Boot Camp directory with its own setup.exe and when I clicked on it, it gave me an Installation Error stating "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model". I did some research and I found no mention of my iMac listed as an unsupported model.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    When I inserted Snow Leopard DVD, the autorun didn't show me an option to install Boot Camp Drivers. Just like the author of this topic, it only showed me 2 options: to Install Mac OS X remotely and to install CD/DVD Sharing.
    Then, I've run Windows Explorer, navigated to Snow Leopard DVD, opened Boot Camp folder and runned "setup.exe". The installer opened and Boot Camp 3.0 was installed successfully.
    I don't know if it could help you guys with that error message, but after the installation of Windows 7 64bits, I've rebooted my Macbook Pro. Only after the reboot I did the Boot Camp Drivers installation.
    You can also try to run the "setup.exe" as Administrator (right-click, Run as administrator).
    Also, my Snow Leopard DVD is that grey one with the white "Mac OS X Install DVD" labelled on it.

  • Boot Camp on Snow Leopard

    I'm running OS X 10.4 Tiger, going to upgrade to 10.6 soon, just planning ahead --
    Thinking about using Boot Camp/stop using Parallels, as I have an old version/must upgrade it for Snow..
    Can I install more than 1 version of Windows using Boot Camp, like in Parallels you can have numerous virtual machines (operating systems) ?
    Anyone using boot camp in 10.6 ---- how is it so far ?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    No. Only one Boot Camp partition is allowed on the drive, so you can only install one version of Windows at a time. Same as any other Windows computer.
    Since OS X is not in use when booted into Windows via Boot Camp it really doesn't matter which version of OS X is installed at the time. Using Windows via Boot Camp is not like using virtualization software. Boot Camp simply creates a bootable partition on which you can install and boot Windows. It provides a way to dual-boot the computer's hardware for native use under OS X or Windows, but not both concurrently.
    I suggest you run the Boot Camp Assistant in the Utilities folder and click on the button to print out the documentation. Then read it carefully.

  • Parallels 7 or boot camp on snow leopard

    I own a MacBook Pro 13 [mid 2009]. I've upgraded it to 8gb ram.
    My problem is I'm not able to decide if I should install windows 7 using parallels 7 or boot camp.
    Also will it slow down the machine.
    And I also need help in installing windows7.

    If you use boot camp you will then have a Dual Boot system running each OS separately. If you use Parallels you will be running Win 7 on top of OS X being able to use both OSs at the same time.
    BC Win 7 will have complete access to all hardware and resources
    Parallels Win 7 will only have access to the VM resources, and physical hardware resources, you assign to it through Parallels. It would be slightly slower and make OS X run slightly slower. But you don't have to leave one OS to go to the other. Also with a VM install of Win 7 you don't have to pre define and use up as much physical hard drive space. The VM install will only use the amount of physical hard drive space as the VM needs. Expanding when needed and otr you can expand it or create a second Virtual Disk. Can't do that with BC.
    Pluses and Minuses with both types of installs.

  • Is there any way to clone a machine using boot camp running WinXP. The Mac side is running Snow Leopard. I want to clone a newly set up machine on to a number of machines in a student lab. I am wanting to clone both particians

    AFAIK, there's no app that'll clone the Mac and PC volumes so you can restore them. System Image Utility.app or Deploy Studio for Mac and Ghost for PC are needed. See these for starters:

  • I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion and now some CDs I use for school do not work.  Can I create a partition to run both Snow Leopard and LIon or does it only work to run windows?  How do I do this?

    Getting a new CD from publisher is not an option as they would want me to pay for a new one and they are pricey.  If possible I would prefer to keep my upgrade to lion but would go back to leopard if there's no other option.

    You can add another partition on which you can install Snow Leopard. If you do, however, you cannot use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows. Just so you know.
    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
    4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
    Boot from your Snow Leopard DVD and install on the volume you just created. Be sure you set the new partition as the target for your Snow Leopard system.

  • Help with boot camp partition on leopard!

    So I wanted to increase my partition disc size, because I ran out of space. So I restored it and started the whole process over again, using like 75 out of the 102 gigs of free space. This time, something went wrong. I window came up and said:
    "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved. Back up the disk and use the disk utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended(journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
    All I want to do is repartition it... I need help plz, thanks. Oh and I assumed the big files were obstacles so I deleted some 1-6 gig stuff I used to use not anymore(not any system stuff either) but that didn't work. Help!

    I bought a new MacBook today with Leopard. I tried to install Windows XP (with service pack 2). I chose 32GB for windows. When I clicked start installation the screen went white, the windows CD was ejected and nothing else happened.
    I had to switch it off manually and then I tried to restart the MacBook. The screen was just black.
    I just read this:
    +This means that the Windows partition is not bootable, usually because of a formatting problem. The Boot Camp Setup Assistant creates the Boot Camp partition, but the Windows installer must format it. Boot back into Mac OS X and re run the Boot Camp Setup Assistant. Remove the partition and re create it. Then install Windows again, this time allowing Windows to format the partition. Refer to the "Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide" PDF document for more detail on installing Boot Camp.+
    I couldn't reboot it into the Mac OS X so I went back to PC World and created merry ****.
    They blamed me and I blamed them and said there was a formatting problem. I left the MacBook with them and they said they would try and install windows XP for me. I collect it today.
    What do I do if they can't get windows on there as I don't really understand what I read above so will need something a bit clearer....step-by-step.
    Can anyone help me please?

  • Mac Pro Boot Camp Upgrade to Leopard

    Hi All.
    Can anyone please point me to a good source or give advice on upgrading my MacPro with Boot Camp (WinXP) to Leopard?
    I've got 2-500 GB Drives with one dedicated solely to the Mac and one dedicated solely to XP. I also have three externals that are variously formatted (one is a "swamp drive" that can be read and written to from both OS'es).
    Are there any issues that might come up?
    Am I burning another install of WinXP by upgrading?
    Should I dedicate a half day to this? A full day?
    Thanks for any assistance,
    Jonathan

    Do you know what I do to get 10.5?
    Purchase it if the computer doesn't include it.
    Also, I don't understand why the drivers are going to be on older software that doesn't have Boot Camp bundled with it.
    The drivers are not on a Mac OS X 10.4 CD or DVD. They are on the Mac OS X 10.5 DVD.
    Leopard has Boot Camp bundled with it doesn't it? Isn't part of the deal upgrading and improving the drivers?
    Yes.
    You say in the above "or use up a Windows installation"
    This only applies if the Windows disk or license agreement allows you to create a limited number of installations.
    Are you saying here that I could also reformat the drive with XP on it?
    You could, but there is little reason to do so.
    Do I have to reconfigure my workspaces if I do the second option above?
    If you erase the Windows partition, yes.

  • Want to Dual Boot Tiger and Snow Leopard

    I have 4 internal SATA drives on my 2007 Mac Pro, and my boot drive is Tiger 10.4.11. I just purchased Snow Leopard (Box Set), with the intention of creating a second internal boot drive that boots Snow Leopard.
    I mentioned this in passing to a senior Apple Tech who indicated he thought I could do it. However I seem to remember reading the second boot drive should be an External Fire Wire.
    The first question is, can I create a second boot drive (using Snow Leopard) on my Mac Pro on an internal HD?
    Second question is, can the second Snow Leopard boot be on a partition? I just bought a 2 TB WD that I'd like to split up.
    Thanks!

    can I create a second boot drive (using Snow Leopard) on my Mac Pro on an internal HD?
    Yes.
    Second question is, can the second Snow Leopard boot be on a partition?
    Yes.
    Note that Spotlight will reindex the drives each time you change OSes unless they're excluded in System Preferences.
